Week Seven brought another major upset in the Big Ten and the SEC. Iowa lost to Indiana; Vanderbilt beat Georgia snapping a 53 game losing streak to ranked teams. While this season has been kind of odd in that here have not been very many major upsets, the past two weeks have provided their fair share. The Auburn – Florida game lived up to the hype and went down to the last minute with Auburn winning the game. It was not without controversy either, which is another long running story this year. This week features two games that should get top billing. Texas travels to face Nebraska while Clemson hosts Georgia Tech in a battle for ACC supremacy.
Saturday, October 21st, 2006 – 7:45 PM on ESPN
at 
(12) Clemson (-7.5) at (13) Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has the best defense in the ACC. They shut down Notre Dame and have been dominant in each of their other games. Clemson has a chance to really take control of the ACC with a win. Clemson will win this game, but it will be closer than a Touchdown.

Texas A&M comes in after a big win for them against Missouri. The line indicates that people aren’t buying it quite yet. I’m a believer.

Record for the year
I'll skip the sob story and just say that if I pick a game one way, you have a better than even chance of being right if you pick it the other way.
117-28 Straight UP
77-64-4 Against the Spread
well yeah, they have to get to 17 of course :)
Mike, checked the posting about the upcoming UWV game vs. UConn and do not underestemated UConn and the fact that it is in Huskie dogs territory. Those pups can very much pull off a fast one.
well the BCS hopes so :)
Actually my wife hopes so too. She automatically cheers for teams with Husky mascots because we have two of them.
But I think they are going to struggle against West Virginia's running back and Quarterback...
As a UConn fan myself, the team can rock the Rent by pulling off a spectacular win against WV.
Great that your wife has two huskie dogs and thank-you to her for making time to root for UConn. You never know, they pulled off an excellent win last Saturday against Army. That win could work wonders for Coach Randy and the team.
:-)
It could very well.
But they've got to be able to make West Virginia throw the ball.
The wife is screwy like that. Technically she's a Buckeye fan, but she likes watching UCONN, NIU and Washington games too.
Man50D, I have heard the weather getting a bit rough tommorrow in East Hartford, CT, and for this EH resident, I hope the weather will not affect how the football flys.
Me too, or listening to the game with my Mom.
It makes me sick that my 82 year old mom, who is in very ill health, can't go out somewhere with me to watch the game. She has a big screen TV to watch the games, but unfortunately, thanks to the greed of ESPN, she'll have to listen to it on the radio.
And with the weather forcasted to have a lot of wind, it could play a role in tommorrow night's game.
Go UConn!!!!
The Weather Channel's website should have good info about the weather for tommorrow night game, what to expect.
Oh I was talking about OSU/Michigan. I'll be in Columbus for that.
As for this Saturday, I'm going to a Frickers here in Springfield.
Of course to get a seat I'll have to be there at 9 AM, but it's worth it.
it could yes....
But they have to stop the run first.
No one has been able to do it yet.
Also the windy weather can play tricks with how WV handle the ball.
That's nice, and think of my mom, who will be at home, NOT watching the game (see my previous post.)
I know. I'm sorry.
ESPN sucks. What can I say?
if they are running the option a lot, maybe, but last week it was a lot of read draw plays instead of stright options....
Oh, in case you were waiting for your Western Union telegram for the score of the Utah/UNM game tonight....Utes gave up 24 unanswered points, but just scored to retake the lead 31-27. Shade under 6 mins left in the game.
North Carolina 0
Virginia 23
Bowling Green 14
Central Michigan 31
Utah 31
New Mexico 34
"Anywho...GO UTES!"
34-31 Lobos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell of a game,Ihad to listen to it on the radio due to that farce of a tv contract the MWC screwed us with.
Good luck to your Utes the rest of the season, but tonight belongs to my Lobos!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
